7.3.1 - Graph Systems
of Equations
• Key Skill: WWBAT solve systems of
Slope-Intercept Form
• Key Skill: WWBAT rewrite equations in Slope-Intercept form (y=mx+b) by
Key Vocabulary
• Slope-Intercept Form of a linearequation is shown as y=mx+b where ‘m’ is the slope and ‘b’ is the
y-intercept.
• For example, in the equation y = 3x – 4 the slope is 3 and the
Slope-Intercept Form
• Usually, we’ve been given equations inSlope-Intercept form (y=mx+b), where ‘y’ is alone
What if the equation
looks different?
• y + 1 = 2x - 4
What if the equation
looks different?
• y + 1 = 2x - 4
• What can we do to put the equation in y=mx+b form?
y + 1 = 2x - 4
Examples
Examples
2x + y = 7 -2x -2x y = -2x + 7
-3y + 9x = 15 -9x -9x -3y = -9x +15 ÷(-3) ÷(-3) y = 3x - 5
Key Vocabulary
• A system of equations is simply a group of two or more equations.
Importance of Systems
• The ability to solve systems allows usto compare different situations and find “break-even” points.
• Example: One insurance plan charges $1,000/month plus $100/doctor visit. Another charges $1,300/month but
Solution v Solution Set
• Some equations have no solutions, likex+1=x
• Some equations have a single solution, like x+1=2
• Some equations have two solutions, like x2=9
Example
y = x + 2 y= -x + 4
• In systems, any solutions for ‘x’ and ‘y’ must work for BOTH equations.
• There are several ways to find the solution. • The first we will examine is graphing both
y=x+2
Solutions
• ALL of the solutions for one equation can be found on one line, and ALL of the solutions for the other equation can be found on the other line.
• The only solution(s) to BOTH equations can be found where the lines meet!
Some Systems Have No
Solution
• Look at these equations:
y = 3x + 7 y = 3x - 2
Parallel lines

7.3.2 - Problems
Involving Systems
Example
• 2 bookstores charge the same price for books.
• Gaslight Books charges a shipping fee of $3 per order plus $1 per book.
• Crimescene Books charges $5 per order plus $0.50 per book.
Solution Method
• Gaslight: y = 1x + 3y is total shipping cost
x is number of books ($1/book) $3 is shipping cost for the order
• Crimescene: y = .5x + 5
y is total shipping cost
Graph of Solution
0 2 4 6 8 10 12 141 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Books Ordered To ta l Sh ip p in g C os t Gaslight Crimescene
Interpreting the Solution
• The total shipping cost is the same forboth stores when we order 4 books.
• Which is cheaper when we order fewer than 4 books?
Checking Your Solutions
• Remember, after you graph your lines, you can insert your solutions back into BOTH equations to prove you arecorrect.
7.3.3 - Substitution
Graphing Solutions
• Graphing solutions has some majordisadvantages:
– When numbers get very large
Substitution
Basic Example
x = 5Basic Example
x = 5y = 2x+1
Simply “substitute” the number 5 for the variable ‘x’ in the second equation:
Another Example
Another Example
y = 3x - 5x = y - 7
y = 3(y-7) - 5 Substitute (y-7) for ‘x’
y = 3y - 21 - 5 Distributive Property y = 3y - 26 Combine Like Terms
0 = 2y - 26 Subtract ‘y’ from both sides 26 = 2y Add 28 to both sides
13 = y Divide both sides by 2
More Examples
a = 3 - b
4a + b = 15
x = 2 - y
More Examples
a = 3 - b4a + b = 15
4(3-b) + b = 15 12 - 4b + b = 15 12 - 3b = 15
-3b = 3 b = -1 a = 4
x = 2 - y
8y + x = 16
8y + (2-y) = 16 8y + 2 - y = 16 7y + 2 = 16
Word Problem Example
• Designer socks cost $1 more than twicethe cost of plain socks
Example
• Designer socks cost $1 more than twice the cost of plain socks
y = 2x + 1
• The price for 3 pair of plain socks and 1 pair of designer socks is $11.
Solution Using Substitution
• System of equations is:y = 2x + 1 3x + y = 11
• If we know that y = 2x + 1, we can rewrite the second equation,
substituting 2x + 1 for y
3x + (2x + 1) = 11
Solution (continued)
3x + (2x + 1) = 113x + 2x + 1 = 11 No need for parens 5x + 1 = 11 Combine like terms -1 -1
5x = 10 Isolate variable ÷5 ÷5
Interpreting the Solution
• So what does the ‘2’ tell us?$2 is the cost of the plain socks
• We must go back and solve for ‘y’ to get the cost of the designer socks
y = 2x + 1 y = 2(2) + 1 y = 5
Checking Your Solutions
• Remember, you can insert yoursolutions back into BOTH of your equations to prove you are correct.
Classwork
Substitution
(continued)
Example
• Sometimes, a system has twoequations in which neither ‘x’ or ‘y’ is alone.
Solution
2x - y = 96x - 2y = 29
First, change the first equation to get ‘y’ alone: -y = -2x + 9, then -y = 2x - 9
Now we can substitute 2x - 9 into the second equation for ‘y’
6x - 2(2x-9) = 29 Distribute and solve
6x - 4x + 18 =29 Make sure -2 times -9 = +18 2x + 18 = 29 Combine like terms
2x = 11
Key Skills
• In order to solve systems of equations algebraically, you must be able to:
– Manipulate equations to get ‘x’ or ‘y’ alone
– Use the distributive property with positive and negative numbers

$6.67/lb.
Starbucks
• Starbucks plans a new blend and must find the right mix for a 6 lb batch that will sell for $6.67/lb.
• The batch includes Kenya coffee, priced at $6/lb, and Sumatra coffee, priced at $8/lb.
• Step 1: Find two equations to make a system. x + y = 6
Starbucks
• Step 1: Find two equations to make a system.
x + y = 6
6x + 8y = 6(6.67)
Starbucks
• Step 1: Find two equations to make a system.
x + y = 6
6x + 8y = 6(6.67)
• Step 2: Change to y=mx+b format y = -x + 6
Starbucks
• Step 1: Find two equations to make a system.
x + y = 6
6x + 8y = 6(6.67)
• Step 2: Change to y=mx+b format
y = -x + 6
y = -(3/4)x + 5
Starbucks
Starbucks
• Step 5: Interpret answer– If x=4, then Starbucks needs 4 lbs of the Kenyan blend.
Starbucks
• Step 5: Interpret answer– If x=4, then Starbucks needs 4 lbs of the Kenyan blend.
– Then y=2 because x+y=6, so Starbucks needs 2lbs of the Sumatra blend.
• Check answer:
6(4) + 8(2) = 6(6.67) 24 + 16 = 40
7.3.4 - Elimination
What is the Goal?
What is the Goal?
• When we have a system of equations with two variables, what must we do to be able to solve the problem?
Example
• Look at the following system:
5x + 4 = 13 + 3y 2x = 3y
• What could we do to eliminate one
Solution
5x + 4 = 13 + 3y 2x = 3y
3x + 4 = 13 Subtract 2nd equation from 1st -4 -4 Now solve for ‘x’
3x = 9 ÷3 ÷3
Solution (continued)
We now must use the ‘x’ value to solve for y.
2x = 3y Use simpler of two equations 2(3) = 3y Insert known value
6 = 3y
÷3 ÷3 Solve for ‘y’
2 = y Solution for ‘y’
Checking Your Solutions
• Remember, you can insert yoursolutions back into BOTH of your equations to prove you are correct.
This is Big!!!!!
• You can actually add and subtract entire equations from one another!
Substitution: Not as easy
5x + 4 = 13 + 3y 2x = 3y
x = 1.5y Solve for ‘x’
5(1.5y) + 4 = 13 + 3y Substitute 7.5y + 4 = 13 + 3y Simplify
4.5y + 4 = 13 Solve for ‘y’ 4.5y = 9
y = 2 Solution for ‘y’
Key Vocabulary
• Elimination is an algebraic method to solve systems by adding or subtracting entire equations from one another in order to create a new equation with
Adding Equations
3x + 5y = 10Adding Equations
3x + 5y = 10
5x - 5y = 14 Subtracting won’t help
8x = 24 But adding makes it easy
x = 3
3 (3) + 5y = 10 Then use ‘x’ to solve for ‘y’
Add or Subtract?
• If the variable we are eliminating has the SAME SIGN in both equations, we SUBTRACT.
Example: 5x + 4y = 25 3x + 4y = 11
• If the variable we are eliminating has DIFFERENT signs, we ADD the two equations
Word Problem
• John and Jen planted tomatoes and cucumber plants in their gardens.
Solution
• Let x=cost of tomato plant• Let y=cost of cucumber plant 7x + 3y = 54
7x + y = 46 2y = 8
Elimination (cont.)
• Key Skill: WWBAT use elimination tosolve systems of equations when at least one equation must be first
More Complex Example
7x - 4y = 1003x - 2y = 40
Example
7x - 4y = 100 Multiply the 2nd equation 3x - 2y = 40 by 2 and we get:
7x - 4y = 100 Subtract the equations 6x - 4y = 80
x = 20
Now You Try
10x + 9y = 19 8x + 6y = 24
Solutions
10x + 9y = 19 8x + 6y = 24
20x – 3y = 17 9x + 10y = 27
20x + 18y = 38 40x + 30y = 120
20x – 3y = 17 27x + 30y = 81
21y = 21 13x = 39
y = 1 and x = 1 x = 3 and y = 0 BOTH equations
must be
